Kelly
Hello, all.
It's been awhile since I've posted anything here. I've been pretty busy but recently finished two portraits, the first of which I will post now.
This is Kelly, a lovely neighbor girl on my street. The purpose for this portrait is to be used as a sample in a local gallery to hopefully get me some more commissions.
It is oil on canvas, 24" x 20" from a photo I took. (Sorry, I forgot to scan the original photo to include here)
I am basically done with it, with the exception of whatever good ideas you folks have for me. One of my thoughts was if there are enough flowers in the painting. The original bouquet was much larger, but being white flowers, I didn't want a massive bouquet of white pulling the viewer's eyes to the bottom of the picture. Also, I wasn't too fond of her hand, but I also figure it isn't very noticeable down at the bottom of the painting and didnt really need to be tightly detailed.
Any thoughts, suggestions, comments are very welcome.
